Friday Fun: The Google Game

by kmueller62 on November 20, 2009

In the spirit of lightening things up a bit on Friday’s here at Inkling Media, I try to do some sort of social media “game” or activity each week.

This week, let’s try the Google game. We used to mess around with this years ago, but I was reminded of it yesterday by my friend Daniel Klotz during his presentation at the Lancaster SEO Meetup (which was a great time, by the way. If you are involved in SEO, social media, online marketing, etc., you should join us!)

Very simple game, and I hope you’ll participate:

  1. Go to Google
  2. Start typing in your first name followed by the word “is” followed by a space.
  3. Let the predictive text do it’s work and see what pops up.You should get about five “choices” without even clicking the search button.
  4. Now, take the first one you get (no skipping) and post it in the comment section below. It can be rather funny. Feel free to post more than one if you get several good ones.

So now, here are my answers…and with the first one, I think Google is rather prophetic:

Ken is such a man

I also thought this one was rather…interesting:

Ken is coming to kill me

So what comes up when you plug your name in Google? Enjoy!

1) Chris is [ok, this is offense - i'm not sharing it]
2) Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew.

Shanelle November 20, 2009 at 8:25 am

I had to actually search because for some reason the predictive text wants to change “Shanelle Lee” to Channel Island. Here we go:

Shanelle is available for exhibitions and personal instruction.
Hm. What am I exhibiting and instructing? Maybe I don’t want to know.

This was my favorite one, courtesy of Urban Dictionary:
shanelle – 3 definitions – - the greatest type of human possible Used to describe stylish, gorgeous, intelligent females

Don’t forget it.

Brent November 20, 2009 at 8:33 am

Brent is …

Nothing comes up for my name. *sigh*

Jeff Burkholder November 20, 2009 at 8:45 am

First two answers, no lie:
- Jeff is cool
- Jeff is a geek

Awesome. :)

Megan November 20, 2009 at 8:51 am

Wait for it…

Megan is a fox (#1)

Megan is a man (#3)

Megan is a gold digger (#10)

I prefer my first result.

Jeremy Bentley November 20, 2009 at 8:52 am

Well, the predictive text didn’t work so well for me off the bat. Before I even got the 2 words “Jeremy Is”, I got these:

jeremy isaacs
jeremy isenhower
jeremy isaacs lehman
jeremy isbell
jeremy isikoff

and then, thankfully, my first “real” entry was:

jeremy is awesome

followed by:

jeremy is a fag

So there you have it.

Kelly Watson November 20, 2009 at 9:27 am

“Kelly is an appliance salesperson. Kelly commits fraud if, to make a sale, she:
a. discloses the truth.
b. represents as a fact something that she knows is untrue.
c. states an opinion concerning something that she knows nothing about.
d. uses puffery.”

I’m going to go with B for the win, Ken!

How incredibly fitting for this Friday morning.

What comes of having a name that isn’t just a name:

Faith is the substance of things hoped for.

Paul Stoltzfus November 20, 2009 at 11:28 am

1. Paul is dead
in reference to Paul McCartney of The Beatles

2. Paul is live
An other reference to McCartney

Make up your mind Google. I can’t take this hanging in limbo.

Yeah…I don’t think we are talking about a person in the first example and I hope we aren’t talking about a person in the second example.

Chris Champion November 20, 2009 at 1:08 pm

“Chris is a fag”

Not, but don’t have a problem with it at all if someone else named Chris is

“Chris is a walking dead man, he messed with the wrong crew”

What did I do NOW to piss off Google?
(Apparently that’s what JayZ said about Chris Brown when he found out that Brown had beaten Rihanna)

Melanie November 20, 2009 at 1:14 pm

Melanie is demented
Thanks Google. Actually, looks like that’s the name of a music group in Sweden.

Sara November 20, 2009 at 2:06 pm

Sara is back on CSI.

Personally, I’m more of a Law & Order kind of girl.

Jeremy – I, too, got – first, “Sarah is,” then “Sara Issacson” but I just pressed the space bar and found out I’m back on CSI. :)

Daniel Klotz November 20, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Daniel is right.

Joy November 21, 2009 at 12:10 am

I’m concurr with Faith. Here are the first two searches i got…

#1 Joy is when one day you understand that your life isn’t worthless
#2 Joy is listening to Louie Armstrong sing “What a Wonderful World.”
